Drawn to Places is a hand-drawn local guide to bars and cafés in Budapest
It offers a personal point of view of the vibrant and eclectic venues that capture the essence of the city. Each illustration highlights the unique character of the place and invites locals and travelers alike to explore the new, or rediscover the well known.
How do I choose places?
I visit places that I personally enjoy, the ones I love to return to, and where I take my friends visiting from abroad.
These places offer a unique atmosphere, and through my drawings, I aim to capture and share the reasons I enjoy spending time there.
How do I make the drawings?
I like to draw on-site while enjoying a coffee, snack, drink, or dish, so I know exactly what to recommend.
Using highlighters and fineliners my focus is not on photorealism but on offering a personal and unique interpretation—a hand-drawn travel guide.
Here’s my process
- I select a place, create a composition, and make the drawing—mostly on-site.
- I take a location photo and a close-up of the sketch. I Shazam the music playing in the background.
- I create an Instagram post featuring the drawing, a review, and sometimes atmospheric photos, and add the music.
